NTN Encore Question of January 9th, 2010.
Played at The Squire & Firkin in Etobicoke, Ontario.
Headliner:...BOB DYLAN over Tom Petty and Phil Collins
Encore Question:...The 1964 Bob Dylan song 'It Ain't Me Babe' was inspired by which female artist?
Tonight I'm playing as ROCKET and LITBOX with Rob COSMO, Sean METLCA and Phil PLBAAB.
Here's how my game went and my comments: TuneUp...ROCKET...5000/5000...1st/5...my two and COSMO win round. .............LITBOX...5000/5000...1st/5. I guess two right out of the two I wasn't sure of. The LineUp...ROCKET...9000/15000...1st/5...my two boards win round. ...........LITBOX...9000/15000...1st/5. I got 4 right out of 10 for the worst week I can remember playing this round. Now I don't care if the Headliner is Bob Dylan because this won't be a good score this week. Triviaoke...ROCKET...15690/25000...1st/5. ..........LITBOX...15690/25000...1st/5...I take two -250s in this round. Opening Act...ROCKET...21440/35000...1st/5...COSMO wins round. ................LITBOX...21440/35000...1st/5. The pound-key round. I got six right for 1000, none for +250, one for -250 and three I didn't answer. Headliner...ROCKET....41760/56250...1st/8. ............LITBOX...41280/56250...2nd/8. BOB DYLAN:...I had enough time to study Tom Petty and Phil Collins but except for writing out the awards that Dylan had won, I didn't go through the dozens of albums he'd put out. So of course that had to be this week's headliner! 1. 1963 classic "how many roads must a man walk down?"--Blowin' In The Wind...2. Released all of these albums except:--Cosmo's Factory (Creedance Clearwater Revival)...3. 1976 album featured song about boxer Reuben Carter Kincaid--Desire...4. Bob Dylan's actual last name--Zimmerman 5. lyrics to this song vary into which version you hear:--Tangled Up In Blue (all coloured songs but the only Dylan song)...6. 1974 album only one released on Asylum label--Planet Waves...7. Which is a double album?--Blonde on Blonde...8. charity recording was Bob Dylan's first official live release--Concert For Bangladesh...9. What Oscar winning soundtrack contains a song by Bob Dylan?--Wonder Boys (Things Have Changed)...10. 1985 album featured Sly & Robbie on several tracks:--Empire Burlesque.
That was rough as expected. I missed questions 3, 6, 7 and 10. All the missed questions could have been answered if I'd have written down the album title and year of issuance but with him having about fifty albums, I didn't feel like putting in the effort. The award list that I wrote did get me questions 8 and 9.
Now the Encore betting comes up. Well 50% as usual. I ensure that everyone puts in that wager.

I don't know this one for sure but in the last few months, Joan Baez had come through Toronto for either a concert or a book signing and the story mentioned that they were in a relationship and Dylan didn't treat her well. It would probably be her. Rob has heard about this too and can back me up. Unfortunately his board stopped working in the Headliner round. Might as well have everything go wrong this week!
Correct Answer:....2. Joan Baez
[NTN Extra Fact:...Baez was Dylan's girlfriend when he wrote the song.]
Without reading the Joan Baez newspaper story, I wouldn't have been able to decide between 2 or 3 or 4.
I'm right and win as ROCKET with 40785. I earn 3000+ points for meeting the standard of 18000. I finish 58th overall in North America. (NTN.com placed us at 24th with a 33649 out of 1638 bars). NTN.com placed The Frog & Firkin at 23rd with a 33765 average. Rob's board still working would have enabled us to beat our regular bar.
